As per usual, these are just titles and the Synopsis for Dragon Ball Super Episodes 87, 88 and 89 which will be airing in Japan (and streaming Globally ) in the next few weeks.

THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS ONLY MILD SPOILERS! (As I also like not know what is happening … it’s a fine balance).

Currently in the Dragon Ball Super’s “Universe Survival Saga”, Goku and Gohan are travelling all over the world, building the Universe 7 team for the Universe Survival Saga.

This week ( Episode 86), we know that Goku is going to find Android 17 somewhere in the episode a mysterious space ship was shown to appear. I have read a few theories that it may be Jaco (the Galactic patrolman) coming to warn Goku about an alien threat but i do not put much weight into this as it seems to be just picking old characters at random in the hope we see them. (who wants to see Jaco the Jackass … Seriously).

Warning … speculation follows!

On the topic of this mysterious spaceship, my own theory is that this ship will contain some sort of Alien threat and this threat will be used to add some Drama to the Universe Survival Saga. One thing that has really struck me since the episode where the Tournament Rules rules were announced was the shortness of the Tournament of Power, and potentially the saga. So far in the Universe Survival Saga, the writers have done a good job of padding out the hours leading up to the Tournament but there is only so much of this that can be done before we will start to get bored of it… as we want to see the Tournament.

I speculate that the spaceship that is shown to appear in Episode 86 will contain an alien threat that will force Goku to waste what precious time they have fighting them. This situation could add an amazing amount of tension to these episodes leading up to the Tournament of Power as we would have a situation where not only is the Earth is at risk but the team are on a timer and if they do not save the earth in time the whole Universe will be destroyed … as they can’t miss the Tournament and it would help make these episodes leading up to the tournament a bit more exciting.
